US Vice President J.D. Vance has delivered a stark warning to Iran, demanding the removal of its nuclear fuel as a non-negotiable condition for peace. This high-stakes nuclear diplomacy unfolds just hours before crucial ceasefire talks are set to begin in Pakistan.

The outcome of these talks will profoundly impact regional stability and global energy markets.
